What will I miss out on doing one vs the other? (Just enough credits left to complete one.)

If I do English, I'm afraid I'll miss education in the ideas of thinkers from other traditions (eg German, French philosophy).

If I do philosophy, I'm worried I'll miss out on education in some grand accounts of muh human condition (which is important to me), though I don't know whether academic English really goes into that at all.

Thoughts?

In most American universities you'll be doing a lot of analytic stuff, so that means logic tables and sperging about math and language, it's not all phenomenology and human condition unfortunately. Where I go, a pretty analytic university overall, there's still plenty of existentialism and philosophy of art courses and stuff but you can't get around taking symbolic logic and metaphysics at some point.

English of course is going to focus more on literature while Philosophy will have a bent more towards critical thinking. Both will give you a substantial writing education.

I don't know my man, I guess it comes down to taste and what you plan to do after school is out.

Sort of a meme, philosophy grads do better than most degrees when it comes to job placement and earnings. It's not mechanical engineering but still.

Just teach yourself arts in your spare time and do a real degree.

You can see the full list here. It's at #75 above degrees that are commonly thought of as more lucrative, such as business, finance, and IT.
